If you are in the habit of watching TV late at night you can not have failed to have seen some of the many infomercials about trading, wether it be stocks, options or Forex. They promise a lot but the question is are they worth it?. Before embarking on a course of trading seminars there are a few very important points that you need to be aware of before making your choice of educational company. In this article we will try and point out some of the things to be aware of. There are quite a few companies that got into the trading seminar business recently, at least in the last 5 years. This has been fuelled by the meltdown of the market during 2000-2003 which has led many investors and traders want to self direct and manage their own money. The less attractive option is leaving it in the hands of an often less than competent fund manger, who may not have your best interests at heart. Some of the companies that that advertise extensively on late night TV are Investools, Optionetics, Bettertrades and Star Trader.** End Summary**

In fact when the market goes up about 70% of stocks will also go up and in the same way when the market goes down it will also take about 70% down with it. This is what is called trading with the trend, you can see that 75 out of 100 stocks follow the market direction so by following the trend you statistically have a much better chance of making money. However many people own stocks that they don't want to sell for various reasons, either tax or sentimental, so what can they do if the market appears to becoming a bear market?. Stock options can provide a number of different solutions, the most popular are called the Covered Call and the mostly unknown one called the Married Put. These use Call and Put options.** End Summary**
